Banding in gradient creation

Hi guys.

I often get bands when I create gradients.

I'd like to know how this happends and how I can reduce or get rid of these artifacts entirely.

Thanks.

Are you sure it's not your monitor? I have a Dell LCD monitor that has this problem really badly... but on a different model it looks fine, no banding.

Eek, I send this to Paul H. only instead of the list, resending. Apologies for the noise Paul.

You can try to use the Dithering option (and maybe the Adaptive Supersampling option too) of the Gradient/Blend tool, if you don't already.
See http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-blend.html#id2858083 - the bottom option of the dialog

In general without dithering the gradients show banding.
